2D
Lacking third dimension
2D is shorthand for two-dimensional—having length and width but no depth.
The term distinguishes flat images or graphics from 3D renderings: old-school 2D animation, a 2D platformer game.
In casual use, 2D can describe something lacking depth figuratively: The characters in that movie felt pretty 2D.
